Has fitness always been a part of your life or did you at some point did you make a decision to seek out that lifestyle?

In high school I decided that I wanted to be fit and healthy, so I went to go to the gym regularly and became a fitness instructor within a year! It was a lot of hard work and dedication, as I had not been into sports or group activities before. It was a challenge that has rewarded me for many years.

What is your favorite healthy meal?

A rare filet, grilled new or sweet potatoes and a green veggie or salad, YES I consider red meat healthy in small doses!

Snack?

A protein shake with pineapple, berries or dark cherries.

How would you describe your training (teaching) philosophy or style?

I feel like Yoga-Based Movement is like a buffet, take what you like and leave the rest behind. I choose to create safety, fun and a simple class that can be done by any “body” to include the tight athlete or the fit, limber yogi.
